Considerable gossip is being INDUCED
in over the finding of some bones, sup>
posed to be those of human being, on
the Davidson farm, some five or six miles
south of Rio, by man named Soper,
who plowed them out 1t seems that it
was piece of pasture land and last year
it was titled, and in plowing last week
these bones were unearthed. 1t appears
also that some five or SIX years ago, there
was man named Loveridge in the cons
munity. who was in the habit of carrying
considerable money about his person and
who was also given to associatng with
tough characters. This man disappeared
suddenly, and all inquiry on the part of
his friends failed to discover his where
abouts. Putting this and that together,
some are inclined to believe that crime
has been committed, and hat these bones
may have belonged to Loveridge. The
Monmouth Gazette says that there is not
sufficient data at hand that can he relied
upon however. to even hazard a guess that
the bones are really human, or If so, that
they may not have got there in n perfect>
ly legitimate way

tory, dry-air closets and coat and furnace
rooms. The building will be heated by
four large furnaces of the Ruttan make.
The hot air is conducted to the rooms
through brick flues, and the furnaces are
carefully walled in in such manner as to
prevent the least possible danger of fire.
and as the partitions are Of brick, the
building will be very secure 10 this par
ticular. The most ample provision is
made for ventilation. All the foul air is
| taken out at the base of the rooms and
| under the floors, thence through the dry
| air closets to heated fiue, which by
creating strong upward current, tends
to draw the air from . the rooms The
size of the furnaces, flues and foul ain
ducts insure thorough ventilation, a
thing much needed in school rooms, and
but little needed in the construction OF
many of our present school buildings
| The entrance of heated air to the rooms
is regulated by valve in the fiue. Wher
this valve cuts off the flow of hot air from
the furnace it at the same time opens a pas
sage for the fresh air from the outside
thus the flow of

into the room is not checked at any time

temperature, and when the desired de-
gree is reached the no: air is cut off, and
only allowed to enter the room when the
temperature falls below the required de-

The arrangement of the school rooms
is such that nearly all of the work will be

frequent climbing of many stairs, the
benefits of the drg-closet system are mat

hearty commentator of all physicians

A View and Description Of an Hnsti-
tutiOn in Which Rock Island May
Take Pride--The improvements and
GOnveDiences IL will Contain.

There is no better index to a city or
community than its public schools. By
city's system of free education, its peo-
pie may be safely judged, and wher-
eyer there is an improvement in the pubs
lie school, service be it great or slight it
is a public improvement. There is
be nothing in which deeper interest
should be taken by all classes of citizens
than in the free institutions of learning
where mind and character are moulded,
and the first fruits of manhood and
womanhood are sown. The public school
is the stronghold of the government.
The accompanying cut represents the
new high school building. now in
process of erection in Rock Island. The
first story is now practically completed,
and the work of putting in the Ruttan
